Founded by
Cliff Cooper in 1968 the
first
Orange amps were supplied by a small north of England company
called Radio Craft which made a versatile, top-spec 30-watt
valve guitar amp - the Matamp Series 2000. In autumn 1968,
Cliff placed an order to make some 100-watt valve amps for
Orange. Guitars and drums were part of the line up in the
1970s.
In the mid-1990s Cliff licensed the Orange trademark to the
Gibson Corporation in America but Orange went back to Cliff’s
hands in the late 90s. Currently made in UK and China.
